Colleen has been supporting families through the perinatal period for over 15 years.

During that time, she became a certified Postpartum Doula, and is completing her Childbirth Educator Training with Doula Canada to teach Childbirth Education Classes.

Her compassionate and caring approach to perinatal support and lactation is an asset to the Shuswap, her dedication to support rural communities is especially evident.

Since the birth of my first child, I have felt called to support families through pregnancy, birth and especially postnatally. Having struggled through postpartum healing and breastfeeding myself, my goal is to support others through this time, giving them the tools they need to feel confident and empowered in their journey.

As a mother of 2 children, and experiencing pregnancy loss myself, I was inspired to offer help and support to new parents walking this path. I have a passion for lactation support and bringing expertise, guidance and hope to every infant feeding experience.
